Scotland’s political parties are making a last minute push for votes ahead of the Holyrood elections.

Hundreds of candidates are vying to be a part of the sixth Scottish Parliament.

There are 129 seats up for grabs, and the ruling Scottish National Party will be looking to increase their tally of 63 seats garnered at the 2016 election.

What’s the current makeup of the Scottish Parliament?

The SNP fell just short of a majority at the May 2016 election, claiming 63 seats.

Their nearest rivals were the Scottish Conservatives who scooped up 31 seats, closely followed by Scottish Labour who occupied 24.

The pro-independence Scottish Greens picked up six seats, while the Scottish Liberal Democrats claimed just five seats.

Changing party allegiances have seen some slight changes to the compositon of the Scottish Parliament, the SNPs majority slipping from three to six. Ahead of the 2021 election the SNP hold 61 seats, the Scottish Conservatives hold 30, Scottish Labour 23, Scottish Greens 5 and the Scottish Liberal Democrats unchanged with five seats.

Michelle Ballantyne now represents Reform UK Scotland, while three MSPs are independents. Ken Macintosh is the presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament.
